> First of all not all websites make money.

If they don't make money, then why would they need to collect and share data about their users? If they don't collect and share, then they don't need to make any privacy notifications, so it doesn't impact UX.

If you've ever developed a website you should absolutely know why you might need to collect and share data. Google analytics is considered sharing btw.

Perhaps I wasn't explicit, but by data I mean personal data, which is what GDPR is all about. While the desire to collect general statistics about site usage is obvious, I still do not see any reason to collect personal data.
